The Office almost closed up shop in the beginning of Season 2, according to showrunner Greg Daniels. He joined series star Steve Carell for a panel at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, and one of their behind-the-scenes stories was as absurd and improbable as their scripts. Daniels told fans that the Season 2 premiere, "The Dundies," was nearly scrapped due to a legal issue that arose after it was filmed but before it aired. Without a season premiere, Daniels believes the show would have been on a fast track to cancellation — if not for Carell. The actor who played Michael Scott not only salvaged the episode, he also improvised one of the best jokes of the season.
